It’s Monday morning, which can only mean one thing….

So… You Hate Weight Training?
So I’ve got this friend – let’s call her ‘Spence’ – and she hates weight training. She’s into everything else – cardio, boxing, yoga, running, Pilates and so on – but as soon as I mention weights, she screws her face up at me.
I feel like Spence is not alone with her scrunchy-faced reaction to weights.

LGF Upper Body Challenge – Week 1
Woohoo, it’s finally arrived – HAPPY FIRST DAY OF THE LGF 28-DAY UPPER BODY CHALLENGE TEAM!
Ever since I designed the first LGF Challenge back in August last year, I’ve had people messaging me asking when I would be putting together an upper body challenge. To be honest with you, I’ve been avoiding it a little bit because finding quality upper body exercises that you can do without equipment is hard, and I didn’t want this to be just another push up challenge.
But I’ve finally done it.
And now, in just four short weeks you will be feeling like a fitter, stronger, more defined version of yourself… how exciting is that?
The first seven days of the Challenge goes a little something like this:

The Benefits of Social Fitness
Some of the most enjoyable experiences of my life have involved social fitness. From organised events like the City 2 Surf or Tough Bloke Challenge through to lunchtime runs with workmates or casual outdoor sweat sessions and beach walks, I don’t think there’s anything better than getting sweaty with friends (and strangers for that matter). That’s why I’ve never understood why some people choose only to socialise when there’s alcohol involved….
Reverse Pyramid Bodyweight Workout
Lovely Legs Workouts
If you ask me, lovely legs are strong legs. You know, legs that can carry stuff. And kick stuff. And squat stuff. And leap tall buildings in a single bound. Or at least carry you up the stairs in said tall building without needing to call an ambulance.
Lovely strong legs don’t just happen though. You gotta work for them ladies! And here are a couple of workouts that will help get you there.

‘VEGAS-BABY’ BOSU Ball Workout
The novelty of Monday is over, and now – after a string of short weeks – we finally have to face the reality of five days at work… in a row! Yuck. Lucky for you, I thought I’d make things a little easier with a fun-filled workout, guaranteed to get the endorphins flowing. You find squat jumps fun, right?

Rainy Sunday Workout for Beginners
31-Minute Bodyweight HIIT Workout
What. A. Week. I am totally and utterly exhausted as I sit here with a glass of water and a (bigger) glass of wine, pulling together the workout that I planned for you guys last weekend.
This workout is pretty indicative of what I’ve had time for in my own schedule this week – it’s hard, it’s fast and it’s simple.
Enjoy.

Deck of Cards Workout
Thank goodness Friday has finally arrived! I’ve been feeling really flat this week – probably a combination of my dadda heading home, the cold creeping in and this unpredictable weather! Lou has a storm-phobia, and while I’m we’re very lucky to be surrounded by people who look out for him, it doesn’t stop the anxiety whenever I see ‘possible thunderstorms’ on the radar – which seems to be every second day at the moment!
